A former graduate of the Physics Department at ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø Prof. Sergey Klimenko has developed the main algorithm to analyze LIGO signals. It is due to the algorithm that gravitational waves were registered.
The Department of Geology and Geophysics at ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø has launched an English-language master's program entitled "Experimental Geochemistry and Design of the Crystalline Materials."
In December 2015, the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP, Novosibirsk) commissioned the VEPP-5 injection complex, which is the first part of the VEPP-5 accelerator. The injection complex is expected to boost the productivity of the existing colliders at the BINP and become an important step towards the future collider—the Super Charm-tau factory, which will be the final phase in the implementation of this mega-science project.
A Laboratory of Geodynamics and Paleomagnetism of the Central and Eastern Arctic starts working at ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø. A majority of the laboratory experiments and measurements is carried out in a specially equipped Cage with magnetic vacuum, artificially created and maintained there.
Laboratory scientists from the joint NSU Laboratory of Radiocarbon Methods analyzed the human remains that were found in Novosibirsk, during excavations on the spot of a former NKVD prison functioning in 1929-1951. Our scientists report that the remains belong to the period before 1955. It is the first time when the radiocarbon method using accelerator mass-spectrometry has been applied in criminal science in Russia.
Alexander Bondar, Dean of the Physics Department at ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø, talks about a new course in astronomy for undergraduate students and other opportunities to study astronomy related disciplines at the Physics Department, including for international students, and the recent achievements of the NSU Laboratory of Cosmology and Elementary Particle Physics in the search for dark matter.
On the 9th of February at the 40th session of the United Nations Commission in New York, there was an application submitted by the Russian Federation, concerning the extension of the continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean. A Dean of the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics at NSU, a Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Valery Vernikovsky was among the members of the government delegation.
The well-known astronomer Vladimir G. Surdin, Senior Researcher at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (Moscow) and Assistant Professor at the Physics Department of Moscow State University; author of the course "Astronomy for Physicists" at ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø; winner of the "Prosvetitel" (Rus. 'Enlightener') Award (Russia, 2012 and 2015) speaks about the future collision between our Milky Way galaxy and the nearby Andromeda galaxy.
The Law Faculty at ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø begins to enroll the students in the English-language master's program entitled "Russian and International Business Law".
³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø launches a laboratory on big data analytics and computer-aided instruction at the Mechanics and Mathematics Department starting from 1 January, 2016. The project to begin with is devoted to developing data flow instruments for telecommunications network in partnership with the Technopark resident Signatec. The contract signed for three years amounts 167 mln roubles.
The Total Dictation fund, NSU and the Institute of Philology at the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences hold the IV International scientific and practical conference entitled "Dynamic Processes in the Modern Russian Language". The conference participants will discuss the topical issues of the modern Russian studies and also the problems concerning the dynamics, variability and codification of rules. Moreover, a series of master classes has been planned for the coordinators of Total Dictation.
³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø won gold in one of the five nominations at the 11th QS-APPLE conference and exhibition, organized by the famous British education organisation QS compiling the QS World University Rankings.
